I don't know how I feel about this.

On the one hand, I understand his wanting an opportunity to grow and expand and the difficulties of bringing his own audience to Headline News.

On the other hand, now I'm afraid he's losing an audience by leaving Headline. I would assume that at least some moderates tuned into his shows on Headline, and I don't think they'll follow him to fox. Also, it says in the article that his ratings had gone up by 200% and that Headline tried to keep him. This guy claims that his ratings were in the dumps.

Like he says, I guess it's a better fit for him at Fox! But I think what most people liked about him was that he was NOT on Fox.

Obviously, I hope he does well! He's my fav.

I have the same concerns Lucky, I hope people don''t try to discredit him, etc., now that he''s going over to Fox. Oh well, I wish him the best though!

Wow. That puts an abrupt end to FF's viewership. He'd rather pull out his toenails than watch Fox News...And he used to watch Glenn all of the time.

Yeah, that''s what I was afraid of.

It''s sad because I find his personal story fascinating and I feel like he speaks a language everyone understands.

Well - Glenn Beck is a great fit for FOX. I wished Nancy Grace went to FOX as well. Kind of sad that people's perception of him could change because of the switch, because there is no good reason for that at all. It's not like people will all of a sudden realize that he is a conservative commentator!?!

isn't he the guy who kept calling obama a fascist? yeah.....not sorry to see him go. he'll fit right in on fox!

ETA: he is! FMIL watches fox religiously and when it was 'suggested' that she watch other news sources she said does.....she watches glenn beck. i guess it's one stop shopping for her from now on

Sorry, but I can't stand Glen Beck. I think he's an awful interviewer. Really, I have been shocked watching interviews where he puts down the celebrity or guest and asks the most inane questions. I saw his show where he interviewed Michael Bouble and Beck was just down right rude to him and Bouble took in in stride and was very nice to Beck. So I won't miss Beck on CNN.

It will probably be a much better fit for him. He probably felt like an outcast at CNN.

Actually, Glenn Beck on CNN is like if Keith Olberman went to FOX.........
